Moreover, Afghanistan’s economy fluctuated after the Taliban seized power in the country in August 2021. Since then, the country has been under a crisis as the residents are also suffering.

Deputy head of Afghanistan’s chamber of agriculture and livestock, Mirwais Hajizada, said that “the international organisations and community need to come and support Afghanistan under the current situation.”

According to the Taliban-led agriculture ministry, Musbahuhddin Mustaeen, the agriculture ministry of Afghanistan already sent the budget plan to the cabinet in which they demand 100,000 tons of wheat for emergency situations.”

However, many countries supported Afghanistan, but still, poverty, unemployment, and malnutrition rates are still at their peak in the country.

While highlighting the situation in Afghanistan, Qutbuddin Yaqubi said, ” Afghanistan need six to eight million metric tons of wheat every year. Luckily, nearly five million metric tons of wheat supply comes in Afghanistan through domestic sources, and the rest of the supply comes from foreign sources.”

Ongoing discrimination against more than half the population of the nation continues to affect the growth of Afghanistan as a country.
